Muslims worldwide should unite and attack India

If Indian Muslims are unable to attack Hindus, then Muslims worldwide should unite and attack India. Even after doing this, if the Muslims in India are not able to overcome these polytheists, the gates of all the Wilayat of the Islamic State are yours to advance.

Editorial Perspectives

  • The dream of religious fanatic Muslims to convert India into an Islamic country is an old one. When will Hindus realise that they need to unite to thwart this dream by opposing such religious fanatics ?
  • Hindus also see that even if Hindus are in power, there is no benefit to Hindu Dharma or in the protection of Hindus. This is shameful for Hindus.
